by Olga Peters, Vermont Business Magazine Windham County Senator Becca Balint, D-Brattleboro, is watching the county’s migration patterns carefully.
The Legislature is preparing to redistrict senate and house districts in response to the 2020 Census. According to Balint, it’s possible Windham County’s population has dropped enough that it risks losing representation.
That loss will directly impact Windham County’s voice in Montpelier, she said.
Representative Laura Sibilia, I-Dover, said Balint’s concerns are real.
One of the question marks, however, is how many new Vermonters will stay in Windham County after the pandemic ends, Sibilia said. Even if the census shows a drop in population, those who moved to the state in late 2020 could tip the scales.
